thicker oil reduces oil burning. it's more difficult for thick oil to squeeze thru the oil control rings in the rotor (rotary) or oil rings (piston).
The NO SMOKE additive u see for sale at the auto parts store is real thick oil, thick as honey. And does help but there's other tricks too like the brake fluid trick ;)
I use 15/50 Mobil 1 in all my vehicles rotary or piston year round in the warm southern california climate down here.
